Dental problems a smile makeover can fix
When you have a smile makeover, we perform multiple procedures to correct dental issues. Among the options, we can:
- Restore damaged teeth
- Replace missing teeth
- Whiten discolored or stained teeth
- Improve the shape or size of teeth
We can also straighten your teeth through orthodontics. Together, these treatments can help you achieve the smile of your dreams.
Dental treatments involved in a smile makeover
You can expect your smile makeover to take place over multiple appointments.
In your first visit, your dentist will review your medical and dental history, perform a comprehensive dental exam, take X-rays of your mouth, and develop a personalized treatment plan.
During your subsequent appointments, you might undergo one or more of the following treatments:
Crowns and bridges
A crown is a tooth-like cover that fits over a natural tooth. We use a bridge to fill in gaps created by missing teeth. Both of these techniques help restore decaying, damaged, misshapen, or missing teeth.
Dental implants
When you get a dental implant, we place an artificial tooth root in your jawbone. This post then supports a new, custom-made tooth.
Dental veneers
A veneer is a thin, tooth-colored shell that is placed on the front portion of a tooth. This technique can improve its shape and size and give the appearance of a beautiful natural tooth.
Teeth whitening
With teeth whitening, your dentist uses a whitening gel and dental trays to make your teeth many shades whiter after just a few treatments. We offer in-office and at-home bleaching options.
Orthodontics
There are different types of orthodontic treatments, including braces and clear aligners. Both of these techniques work to align jaws and correct crooked teeth. At Goodman Dental Center, we proudly offer SureSmile® clear aligners, which gently move your teeth into position without the hassle of metal braces.
